Good morning to all.
I hope everyone is have a great Sunday morning.
My name is Abdul and I am a new metal detector based in East London.
I have fully read and understood the Treasure Act 1996 and thus I am here.
I am hoping to obtain permission from farms in the London and Surrounding areas who have farm land (no tall grass) and would kindly allow me to sweep Low and Slow with my metal detector.
Benefits to you:
1. 50 : 50 split of anything of value. Note, all finds will be subject to the Act which states if something is of historical value and is deemed to be treasure, then it has to be reported and the proper channels followed.
2. I'd be essentially removing metal from your fields, our code of conduct prohibited the reburial of unwanted metals. Take everything you dig.
3. I will refill all holes, close all gates behind me and leave the land as i found it.
At the moment, i have not found anything other than a Horseshoe on my first dig. I kept it, most guys throw it away. I thought, first dig first horseshoe, might bring me luck. Also removed a steal hinge and a piece of lead.
These items can damage machinery. So if you have never had metal detector on your land before. I'd love to hear from you and we can hopefully come to an agreement.
If you have any questions, please ask.
Kind Regards All

London and Surrounding area. in particular, if you are aware of any historical paths/walkways/buildings that crossed your land, Id love to talk to you.
Note: items of archaeological significance will be reported to the British Museum as per the Treasure Act 1996.
Thank you for taking your time to read.
